    You should help Top Rank and GBP while you're waiting.

      I'm not big on Herring tbh, but thats an interesting fight for him to see what he is or isn't capable of.

      And Lipinets & Barrios are two of my favorite prospects in the game right now. Lipinets in particular seems like he could be a player fairly soon if he keeps winning & I think he's got 9-10 fights still so he's probably gonna be another one of these guys thrown into the fire super early in their pro career.

      Looking forward to these shows. I'm in that crazy majority of fans who like boxing.

        I think PBC should do fan polls for each weight class.....we pick 3 fights per divison out of their stable.....we'd get some awesome matchups....most times the fans know more about the fighters and how the styles mesh better than the lame ass commentators and promo teams who only care about $ a

          difference being top and rank and gbp have limited number of stars/potential stars which is why they match their guys soft.

          if had roster as vast as al haymons no excuse to not make great matchups. its a shame the current matchmaking is inept

            Not bad fights. I might tune into 2 of them.

            But yeah, it is kind of crazy that Haymon paid millions for these time slots.

            Obviously, these are cards full of guys that don't demand big purses...which shows that PBC is seriously trying to reduce their losses....but I would rather guys like this than fighters who demand high purses yet don't deliver.

              What the hell does this have to do with hbo or Peter Nelson you insecure Fck boy?

              Haymon will blow more $ on the time buy for espn than the total purses of the last hbo card.

              Besides, hbo gets paid subscribers for all of there ratings. What does PBC get? Nothing! Not even any real advertising revenue! That's why they are cheeping out on the headline fights. There's no money coming in!

              But Great business plan, PBC plan is going just as planned, right?

                haymon spent so much money on the tv time and now he ran out so he can only fill the slots with low paying fights and unknown guys. that fell apart instantly.

                  well there went the anti pbc boxing writers propaganda who are paid by hbo/ring mag aka gbp who said there wont be any pbc espn cards in july cause espn didnt want them anymore. dont worry tho their propaganda will just move onto something else
